23 and Me - anyone done it?http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=7320&Focus=205828#Comment_2058282009-11-28T07:32:53-06:002015-08-02T15:27:26-05:00TFhttp://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1307
23andMe is a service that gives you a tube to spit into. Link
You post them that spit filled tube and they give you a breakdown of your genome - what diseases you might develop, what you might ...

I'm thinking of doing it because I'm plain curious (everyone would love to take a peek at their future right?) - but also my health's a bit up and down and it'd be handy to know what I might be able to stave off.

Has anyone here done it? Was it worth your money? ($429)

Anyone aware of it's credibility being torn to pieces? Anyone scared of what happens when employers and insurance agents make this a mandatory requirement?]]>

I don't know...this seems like a science version of a star chart, where you pay someone to read the stars and it tells your possible future....eh.

Quick search of ScienceBlogs doesn't return anything indicating that 23andMe is bull, quite the contrary, even.

I remember coming across a similar company not long ago where, again, you give them a cheek swab, and they make an artpiece of your genome. Small, or wall-sized, depending on your tastes. They're ...

I'd rather have the art piece than knowledge of a litany of genetic heirlooms I'd be passing down to my kids, that sounds like selling snakeoil to me.

I had my mtDNA and Y-DNA tested with GeneTree. Thanks to the relatively greater affordability of full genome sequencing (FGS), I recently decided to have my FGS mtDNA tested with FamilyTree DNA. It ...
If they make further strides in their capabilities regarding the number, significance, and accuracy of disease predicting based upon the FGS, I would likely entertain the idea.]]>
